Horizon[2]

Microsoft’s announced that its new blend of arcade action racing and simulator, Forza Horizon (though some may argue that Forza 4 already fills that spot) will be getting a “VIP membership pass,” which means you’ll get a ton of extra stuff. If you’re cynical, it means they’ll be charging you for content they’ve not made yet. If you’re cynical and jaded, it means they’ll be charging you for stuff they have already made, but have opted to keep off the retail disc.

Included gratis in the Collector’s Editions of Forza Horizon – and for a fee for those who opt for the Vanilla version – The VIP Membership Pass includes:

  • Special recognition in the community as a VIP member with a VIP icon affixed to their Gamertag in “Forza Horizon”
  • VIP Rivals Mode Events: VIP members will have access to exclusive Rivals Mode events in “Forza Horizon”
  • Exclusive in-game gifts from the Forza Motorsport community team
  • Expanded Storefront: VIP members receive extra slots for things like photos, liveries, videos, etc.
  • Expanded MyForza Gallery Space: VIP’s can store an additional two videos and/or Big Shot images in their MyForza Gallery on www.forzamotorsport.net
  • 2012 Audi R8 GT Spyder — Going topless in an all-wheel drive super car might be illegal in some places, but just try and catch this culprit. The R8 GT Spyder has enough power and traction to leave nothing but the brief memory of its taillights in the mind of anyone trying to match its pace.
  • 2011 Koenigsegg Agera — The Agera is one of the most interesting of the current breed of hypercar. It certainly has the requisite manic power numbers courtesy of a 940 horsepower twin-turbo 5-litre V8. With a top speed of greater than 260 mph and a sub-three-second 0-60 mph time, no one can deny its performance.
  • 2011 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento — Faceted like a cut diamond, there’s no mistaking the Sesto Elemento for anything else on the road-even other Lamborghinis. Sesto elemento is Italian for “sixth element”; aka carbon, a not-so-subtle hint that the body is composed entirely of carbon fibre.
  • 2012 Pagani Huayra — When one thinks of Pagani cars, it’s natural to think of craftsmanship, performance, and a platonic ideal of automotive beauty. The Huayra has been a long time in the making as designer Horacio Pagani began work on the car in 2003. But, like all works of art-automotive or otherwise-true beauty takes time.
  • 2011 RUF Rt 12 R — Starting with the traditional 911 body-in-white, RUF completely rebuilds or replaces the rest of the componentry, and the result is stunning-730 horsepower and 693 ft-lbs. of torque, enough to rival all but the most extreme supercars. While the R can do things that few cars can equal, it does so precisely and without drama; a skilled driver can use this car as a finely tuned racing tool.

The games out on October 26 – and those who pre-order will be gifted a Mercedes SLS AMG in-game car. Those who want to get all collecty about it will also receive the following, in addition to the VIP pass:

  • Custom cover design
  • Custom-designed SteelbookTM packaging
  • Horizon Festival ticket to access exclusive Xbox LIVE content
  • Day 1 Add-on Pack with 5 cars
  • Horizon Accelerator Token Pack
  • Five exclusive LCE Car Pack liveries (more details soon)
